The challenges of growing up black and female in apartheid South Africa have been the foundation of Nontombi Naomi Tutu’s life as an activist, consultant, and educator. Her experiences taught her that the human family loses when we accept situations of oppression: teaching hate and division injures us all. Tutu is the child of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nomalizo Leah Tutu. She has followed her own path to build a better world, channeling opportunities she has been given to raise her voice as a champion for the dignity of all. She blends this passion with humor, joy, and personal stories. Nontombi Naomi Tutu is presented in conjunction with MSU’s Year of Global Africa.

The World View Lecture Series is made possible in part by the MSU Office of the President. This presentation is generously supported by the Broad College of Business; Residential College in the Arts and Humanities; University Outreach and Engagement; and MSU Year of Global Africa.

Media Sponsor: WKAR.
